Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Having graduated well beyond the 1960s culinary craze, fondue cooking remains a creative way to gather friends at the table for a deliciously entertaining experience. Swissmar's Sierra 11-piece meat fondue set specializes in heating oil or broth to an even, consistent temperature for dipping bite-sized dinner treats such as beef, chicken, seafood, or pork. Crafted of enameled cast iron, the wide, straight-sided pot holds a generous 1.6 quarts of liquid and can be preheated on a stovetop or warmed directly over the fondue flame. Cast iron is an ideal choice for meat cooking, as it works well at both low and high temperatures and, though it takes a few minutes to heat up, provides excellent heat distribution and retention. The matching rechaud stands on three sturdy legs with high arches between to easily access the paste/gel fuel burner. Below, a handsome light wood base is carved with a groove to securely hold the entire fondue set while protecting tabletops from heat and drips.
When the liquid inside is bubbling nicely, it's time to dig in. For safe, cool handling, there are two wide handles as well as a removable splatter guard that fits snugly on the pot with slots for the six forks. Diners choose a color on the tip of each fork so it's easy to identify and store even when there's much dipping and stirring (not to mention talking and laughing!). For multipurpose usage, simply remove the splatter guard and lower the heat to melt cheese, or use the pot as a warmer for appetizers, buffet items, chilis, or soups. Available in an array of bright colors including red, blue, white, and orange, this fondue set has a cheerful presence that suits its inviting, communal purpose. Assembled, the set measures 8-1/4 inches high by 8 inches in diameter, and wide handles assist in transporting the 6-3/4-inch pot. Easy recipes are included to get the party started. --Kara Karll

3.0 out of 5 stars
excellent except one big flaw,
By Jonathan K (Maryland, United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Swissmar Sierra 11-Piece Meat Fondue Set, Red Enameled Pot (Kitchen)
this is listed in the review for the blue pot and i think it deserves to be here as well. the pot is great, the stand is great but they don't quite fit together! the pot tends to rock a little bit from left to right and doesn't fit firmly into the base. there is a lip on both the pot and the stand that prevents it from tipping all the way over, but a 2% rock is still disconcerting when it is full of scalding hot oil! i was not happy about this at all. before using it, i filled it up with water just to see what it would take to upset it. the lips really do keep it from going all the way over and there is no way a casual disturbance is going to knock it over. feeling a little bit better, i decided to try it out. it was great being able to heat the oil right in the pot and move it right over to the stand from the stove top. once it was on the stand, it really was solid and didn't rock during normal use, though i could have made it. it did stay wonderfully warm and clean up was a snap. all told, pot is fantastic, stand is also sturdy, but the rock is a little frightening. considering this is one of the more expensive sets, you'd think that wouldn't be the case! that being said, it didn't make it any less functional, just a little mentally disturbing. i will contact the manufacturer to see what they say about it. i just noticed that you can do a video review. i will try to post a video of the rock.

Forget the forks,

This review is from: Swissmar Sierra 11-Piece Meat Fondue Set, Red Enameled Pot (Kitchen)
The item was shipped immediately and arrived on time. Pot and burner are excellent, but forget about the forks. They bend easily, and the color dots fall off. This is an excellent product, but buy quality forks extra somewhere else.

Great Fondue Set,

This review is from: Swissmar Sierra 11-Piece Meat Fondue Set, Red Enameled Pot (Kitchen)
I have had this set for two years now and I use it about every other month. I have done cheese fondue and meat fondue. I works wonderfully! I have left the heat on too long and burnt the cheese several times, I just soak it in water for an hour and literaly wipe it out with the soft side of my sponge. Super easy to clean, very good quality. Great for family fun.
